Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Sorry, forgot to automatically post.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat tense, Chen Xiaojun hurriedly changed the subject, "What do you two elders think about the Tang family recruiting the Poyue Giant Hammer lineage?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Yu and Chen Cong fell into deep thought with frowns on their faces. For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

After a while, Chen Cong was the first to break the brief silence. He said with a bit of surprise in his voice: "I really didn't expect that those people from Haotian Sect would actually resort to such means. This is very different from their usual style of doing things."

Chen Yu nodded gently, his expression solemn: "I guess they are also forced into this situation. They have lost too many people in the successive catastrophes. After all, the Snowmen are not easy opponents to deal with. It is difficult for them to defend the road to the central area of ​​the empire to the south alone."

Chen Cong nodded slightly and said solemnly: "They are indeed short of manpower. The intervals between catastrophes are getting shorter and shorter, and the losses cannot keep up with the growth."

"Xiao Jun once mentioned that the biggest dilemma for spirit masters is that once someone dies, it takes decades to train a new spirit master."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu looked at Chen Xiaojun with satisfaction and responded, "That's right, Xiaojun has hit the nail on the head."

Chen Cong raised his head and looked into the distance. He sighed leisurely, revealing a kind of vicissitudes of life: "In the face of death and the continuation of family bloodline, any style and position seem so insignificant, like dust."

He paused, as if he was calculating something in his mind, and then continued, "The Tang family should have no more than a hundred direct descendants now, or at most two hundred."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu couldn't help but complain: "It's already pretty good. Even with such a heavy loss, there are still hundreds of direct bloodlines."

He immediately shook his head and sighed with envy: "Look at our families, which one can have so many people?"

Then, he asked thoughtfully, "Second brother, how come they are so fertile? Do they really have the same fertility as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex?"

Chen Cong rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Brother, the old dragons of the Yu family have counted every mutated dragon son and grandson into the population. If our Chen family counts all the branches and offspring, the number of people would be close to a thousand."

"Hmph, their Yu family has many mutations, but there are also hundreds of people who have truly awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex bloodline. How can we compare?" Chen Yu retorted with an unwilling look on his face.

Chen Cong chuckled and spread his hands, "Brother, our direct lineage population is indeed not as large as that of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, but in terms of the population of our branches, we are far superior to them. Don't forget, our strength lies not only in our direct lineage, but also in our vast branches."

"Let's not talk about the branches," Chen Yu waved his hand, "let's talk about the main branch. After all, the Tang family is indeed very fertile and has a large population. Among our Seven Tianwu Armies, they have the largest number of people."

Chen Cong looked at Chen Yu, who was full of resentment, and knew that Chen Yu was very concerned about the people in the clan and was very obsessed with them.

He smiled and said: "I think that in addition to the fact that the Clear Sky Hammer spirit has little effect on fertility, their Clear Sky Nine Yang Power should also have played a significant role."

"Ah? What's the reason?" Chen Yu asked curiously.

Chen Cong joked: "I haven't fully figured it out yet, maybe the Yang attribute helps to strengthen the yang!"

Chen Yu laughed after hearing this, "Then my water attribute can nourish the kidneys!"

The two smiled at each other, then Chen Cong put away his smile and said seriously: "Stop joking. The Breaking Mountain Giant Hammer lineage has an eighth-grade martial spirit, and its strength should not be underestimated. The fact that the Haotian Sect can recruit dozens of them will undoubtedly greatly increase its strength."

He shook his head. "Tang Yue is a guy who can let go of hundreds of years of grudges. It shows that he has great ambitions."

"Yes, the Haotian Sect has been suppressed by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family for more than a hundred years. How could they be willing to accept this?" Chen Yu said with deep sympathy.

"And as the strength of alien races continues to grow, the threat posed by the Snowman tribe is also increasing. Look at the Niu, Tai, and Bai families. In order to deal with this threat, they have all transformed into single-attribute extreme flows." Chen Cong analyzed.

"They have gone too far. They only give all the good things to the main veins and branches. But once too many sacrifices are made, the branches can no longer support them. They deserve the headache."

Chen Xiaojun pulled the corner of his mouth aside and laughed in his heart: "Niu Taibai? It seems that the soul master world understands humor. I guess the Yang family will also join, that is, Niu Yang Taibai. Judging from the situation, there are many people in the Tang family in the future, hundreds of people, they should be incorporated."

Chen Cong had an inexplicable emotion between his brows. He sighed and said, "Back then, they chose to submit to and be loyal to the Tiandou Empire and set Haotian Peak as their ancestral land. This determined the price they had to pay to guard the border for the Tiandou Empire and stop the Snowman Tribe."

Chen Yu couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this: "They have obtained so many resources, cities and lofty reputations from the Tiandou Empire. Do they really think it's so easy to be one of the top three sects? The debt of the past must be repaid today!"

Chen Xiaojun was stunned for a moment. He could feel the sarcasm and criticism in Chen Yu's words.

Chen Cong also sighed: "The survival of the family is in the cracks. The Tang family is like this, so are we?"

"Back then, the Seven Tianwu Soldiers were scattered, and our Chen and Ximen families had a hard time making ends meet, hiding their identities. The Yang family fell into trouble and became the thugs of the Plant Church."

"After the Overlord Spear Xiang family defected to the Xing Luo Empire, how many people have been sacrificed in the past two thousand years?!"

"The Gu family of Panlong Stick, in order to express gratitude to the Spirit Hall for taking them in, and to show their loyalty to the Angel Qian family, actually added the word 'Qian' before their surname, thus becoming this weird Qiangu family."

Chen Xiaojun secretly complained in his heart: "So this is how the so-called ancient surname came about. It's really flattering."

He couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, you just said that the Haotian Sect has gained fame, what does this 'gained' mean?"

Chen Yu glanced at him and explained, "Although the current top three sects have inherited the mantle of the ancient three heavenly sects, this is just tracing the roots, but do you know how this status came about?"

"Wasn't it won through competition at the sect conference?" Chen Xiaojun asked puzzledly.

"Then who presides over the sect conference?" Chen Yu asked back.

"Isn't it the Spirit Hall?"

Chen Yu raised a sarcastic smile and snorted, "What a joke. Why should a sect of the Tiandou Empire be given the title of a sect by the Wuhun Hall, an organization outside the empire?"

After Chen Xiaojun heard this, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes, but then, as if a light bulb had been lit, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Ah, I understand, there is actually a political entanglement in this!"

"Of course!" Chen Yu responded decisively, "These three sects are all located in the core area of ​​the Tiandou Empire, the central region, but they want the foreign Spirit Hall to confer titles on them. Isn't this ridiculous?"
